On Nov. 15-17, 100.7 WHUD will host the 13th Annual Radiothon For The Kids. The three-day live broadcast from Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital will feature interviews with Hudson Valley children and their families, who will share uplifting and inspiring stories of triumph over the significant medical challenges they faced while under the care of Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital.

The annual event is a fundraiser for the hospital, a member of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network, which provides children from the Hudson Valley with life-changing and lifesaving care including open-heart surgery, brain surgery, cancer treatments, trauma and burn care, organ transplants, advanced neonatal services and other advanced pediatric care.

Below is the story of one child who benefited from the hospital’s lifesaving treatment:

Tyson Philip, Age 3

When Tyson’s mother Jamila was 20 weeks pregnant, she was placed on bed rest due to a complication. Despite that precaution, Tyson was born prematurely at 27 weeks, weighing 2 pounds, 5 ounces. He spent 79 days in Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital’s Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where he battled jaundice, a brain bleed and an episode in which he was brought back to life after his heart stopped beating. Thanks to the lifesaving care he received, today Tyson is a happy, healthy 3-year-old.
